For many projects you can use SQLite. It's bundled into PHP for instance. It works great and it's super fast.


And uses database level locking. Not exactly going to be super fast if your site becomes popular.

I would not build a public facing Web site that uses SQLite as a backend. If your site takes off, you will find yourself having to migrate to a different database.

Fr intranet sites though that are only visited by a known number of people, then it can work great. But for a public Web site? Don't do it.
